CD9 is a member of the tetraspanin superfamily, a group of four-transmembrane domain proteins that organize membrane microdomains and regulate diverse cellular processes including cell adhesion, motility, and signal transduction. This versatile molecule plays critical roles in fertilization, platelet activation, and tumor metastasis, making it a valuable target for researchers investigating cancer biology, reproductive physiology, and immune cell function. CD9 expression patterns have been linked to metastatic potential in various cancers, positioning it as both a prognostic marker and a subject of mechanistic investigation.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 1E8H1, offers the consistency and reliability that demanding experimental workflows require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies and reproducibility. The human IgG1 isotype format and affinity chromatography purification ensure high specificity for your target while minimizing background interference.
Validation studies confirm robust performance in flow cytometry applications, with recommended dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200 providing flexibility to optimize signal-to-noise ratios for your specific experimental conditions. Testing in PC-3 cells, a human prostate cancer line commonly used in metastasis research, demonstrated clear positive staining compared to isotype controls, with the antibody effectively detecting CD9 in fixed and permeabilized cells.
Whether you are characterizing tetraspanin expression in tumor cell populations, investigating exosome biology where CD9 serves as a canonical marker, or exploring cell-cell fusion events, this antibody provides a dependable tool for human sample analysis in flow cytometry and ELISA-based detection systems.
